The Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - episode 30
Legends Mix #8
A mixed bag of goodies today, scraped together from my music collection and yours to enjoy again - many of them straigt from 78s. Today's playlist includes some real forerunners of Rock 'n Roll, influential discs that shaped Rhythm & Blues and helped form the start of the first and most important national craze in music. But also some fine blues and a very early and explicit protest songs against racism and segregation. Have fun!
